Currently <br /> this department has 2 full time water operators and 1 - %2 time water operator and 1 <br /> supervisor. The V2 time operator spends '/2 of his time in the water department and V2 his <br /> time as a power plant operator/maintenance. <br /> Attached is the Elk River Water Distribution Maintenance Program. Due to the system <br /> growth, the items highlighted in yellow are the areas we are having difficulty completing <br /> on a regular fashion. We continue to add more wells and treatment plants. Our system is <br /> ageing, which requires more maintenance. <br /> We do a good job in the water production aspect, but struggle with the distribution <br /> maintenance portion of the business. <br /> Attached is a position description for our water operator position. Staff recommends <br /> authorization to hire a water operator. <br />
